actually, it wouldn't do that for me in Safari. I shrank the width to as small as it would let me, and it just reduced the width of Bran's avatar space, and then gave me a scroll bar at the bottom of the window, not the post.

but I know of what you speak, so I'm cool.

And you are so right! It shouldn't. Right now this deleting operation did not take more than five minutes for the whole lot.
This afternoon it was carnaval at this board. Sheets changed color. Graphics changed , complete lineless pages. Very interesting but dead slow. One post took 5 tries and half an hour. Just for the one! I really did not see me do this with ten posts and two PM'that even took more effort.

The link! the large link. It sticks out. True. It works with me just as if it did not stick out. Graphically it's not elegant, but thinking of the House of Orange I thought it could be useful for some people to have some old royal nicknames at hand in case they would have to entertain royalty.Some casual namedropping.

Let me know if you want the link off, it'll only take a sec.(now)

But it was rhyme and orange. It depends on how you pronounce it. If you put the accent on the second part of the word, oránge ( a Frenchy accent) it could be rhymed with Blanche. If you pronounced Blanche also a little bit the French way.

Bran, you didn't need to remove the link, tsuwm was commenting that the scroll bar was a good thing!

for links, try this:
Code:
[url] link [/url] = Makes the given url into a link.
[url=link] title [/url] = Makes the given title into a hyperlink pointing to link.


I use the second example all the time. and have found that the first one is unnecessary, as the forumware will do it automagically.

I'll meet the Queen on my own. Maybe I'll get to before you will, Branny--she's coming to the Derby!

Queen Elizabeth II of England will become the first sitting British monarch to attend the most famous horse race in the colonies -- the Kentucky Derby.
Queen will attend the Derby
